During her Thursday press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that Wednesday’s sweeping gun control defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate is a setback, but not the end, of Democrats’ gun control efforts. During Senate action Wednesday, nine gun control measures came up for votes, and all nine were defeated. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s “assault” weapons ban went down in flames, with 15 Democrats voting with Republicans to kill it. It fell in a lopsided 60-40 vote.

The process on where to go from here is we will be collecting any bipartisan sign up as co-sponsors of the bill, which is already bipartisan What we want also is a vote [in the House], Pelosi said. The American people can say to the leadership in Congress to Speaker Boehner, Give us a vote. As you can see, were just not taking no for an answer.

She means it. Pelosi is a very determined ideologue. The last time Democrats refused to take no as an answer, they passed ObamaCare against the wishes of the majority of Americans. That law is wreaking havoc on the US economy and healthcare system, and it isn’t even fully implemented yet.

Those of us who actually write checks to the US Treasury aren’t burning down our neighborhoods over Obamacare because we still adhere to the notion of ‘majority rule’, while the Democrats apparently reject democracy when it doesn’t serve their agenda.
Screw that and Nanzi!

The Constitution says the federal government is not even permitted to regulate our right to keep an bear arms, but Princess Pelosi is not taking “no” for an answer. A democratic vote in a Democrat-controlled Senate gave an answer of “no” but our ruling class is still not taking “no” for an answer. Why bother pretending to respect the rule of law if she has no interest in the supreme law of the land? Why pretending to support democracy if she’s only in favor of accepting the outcome of a vote if it goes her way. Princess Pelosi is a petty tyrant, an unfortunately ruthless one. We have to stay on our guard against her and against those like her - forever.

("Shall not be infringed" is unambiguous.)

Well it just illustrates they never follow “the rules” they try to force on those opposed to them.

If you’re THEM, when the other side loses, YOU have to shut up, YOU LOST, stop fighting, and allow THEM to roll over you because that’s what the WINNING side wants. Screw everything else. You’re unpatriotic if you oppose THEM.

If you’re THEM, and THEY lose, then THEY don’t have to give up, YOU, the WINNER, can’t be allowed to have a tyranny of the majority over THEM, THEY will not take no for an answer, THEY will not shut up and stop fighting because the majority wants something different than THEY do. And again, screw everything else. THEY are patriotic to continue to oppose YOU, the majority.
